The Amazing Race: May 4, 2017 Episode Blog Party

I'll be live bloggig the show's events as they air here on the East Coast. The real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun!

Liz and Michael are missing their families. He's especially missing his daughter and is in tears. But they can't sit around because the teams are going to be heading to Venice, Italy. There are two buses, a four-hour bus ride. From there they need to take a water taxi and it's finding a clue held by a sweeping worker next. Scott is bummed that he's stuck with Brooke because she's a "glass half empty" pessimist type person. I don't blame him.

Detour -- Sing It or Bring It. They have to learn and perform an Italian song or lug much luggage up into a hotel.

Matt and Redmond took the physical detour and are now the first team to complete the Detour. Joey practically hauled the luggage by himself. They're running in second.

Who has Masked Intentions is the Roadblock. They have to pick an actor and recreate the mask. There is a demo going on, so they're not totally clueless. Finally, Becca and Floyd finish singing. They're on the way to the Roadblock.

Brooke is fussing once again.

Redmond finishes his mask just as Joey and Tara are arriving. Redmond and Matt are headed to the Pit Stop. Floyd arrives at the Roadblock and follows the painting instructions which he mentions to us that Tara isn't doing.Michael called out LoLo (London/Logan) for not helping him find an earlier clue after they had helped LoLo a lot before.

Pit Stop order:1. Matt and Redmond, won a trip to Grenada 2. Becca and Floyd3. Tara and Joey

Brooke is running around asking so many others and no one wants to help her. Liz is doing the mask wrong. But it's getting so it's every team for themselves a bit. Tara finished her mask.

4/5 Logan and London, Brooke and Scott6. Michael and Liz -- NON-PHILIMINATION LEGAll teams are still in it. Michael and Liz will encounter a Speed Bump in the next leg.

I don't even watch the show until tomorrow. I can't stay up much past 10 anymore. Even when I was still working I started going to be early because I had to get up so early! I sure don't miss commuting!

I went to high school in Saratoga County, NY. My high school graduation was held at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, home of the rock concerts and NYC Ballet summers. And, of course, near Saratoga horse racing. "I hear you went to Saratoga and your horse naturally won ... you're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you." We used to go ogle the rich people's Rolls Royces and I'd go early in the morning to watch them exercise the horses.

Jackie, I loved going to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. It was my first concert to see the Cowsills. That would be so cool seeing all the rich people dress up. LOL. When I was stationed in Germany, I took a trip to Monaco. OMGosh, the cars we saw were unbelievable. Rolls Royce, Austin Bently, Lamborgini, etc. It was unreal. "You're So Vain" is one of my favorite songs.

Sue, anniversaries should be when you first meet and it lasts! So, 30 years it is!!

Happy anniversary, Penny! At my SPAC graduation -- we had it there because the graduating classes at my school were nearly 1,000 kids and it was big enough to hold all guests and grads. We stayed for the concert that night. It was Melanie (Lay Down Candles in the Rain, I've Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates). I also saw the Cowsills there.
